Sometimes, transporting electrons from one cell to another is a team effort. In electroactive bacteria, that team is a group ...

Researchers at the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology (CEB) have found a new way to organize molecules ...

Bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) are membrane-bound particles between 20 and 400 nanometers (nm) in size that are secreted by bacteria. BEVs carry bioactive agents that mediate cell-to-cell ...

Scientists have uncovered an elegant biophysical trick that tuberculosis-causing bacteria use to survive inside human cells, ...

Explore how tuberculosis bacteria survive within human cells, revealing potential paths for new treatments against this ...

New research from scientists at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and their collaborators elsewhere describes a way of improving extracellular vesicles’ ability to transport things like therapeutic ...

Bacteria can be tricked into sending death signals to stop the growth of their slimy, protective homes that lead to deadly infections, a new study demonstrates. The discovery could someday be ...

Antibiotics are medical marvels that have transformed once deadly bacterial infections into manageable conditions. But with a ...

Bacteria are ubiquitous microscopic organisms capable of rapid growth. While beneficial strains like lactic acid bacteria (LAB) promote gut health and food preservation, pathogenic bacteria such as ...
